The UK Nigel Farage Reform won the knife in the Runcorn & Helsby side elections, overthrowing the work in what was long overdue by the party.

The reform gained only six votes in one of the closest elections in British political history.

Sarah Pachin eventually won a place in Cheshira for a reform of 12 645 votes against 12 639 for Karen Shore.

The result was announced after the list, which took place in the election in July in July with a majority of almost 15,000.

A before the election It is the most significant competition among dozens of mayors and elections in the councils that took place on Thursday.

Supposedly, liberal Democrats and greens will also make a profit, in the last signs that work and conservatives are losing a dual they have pursued in British politics for decades.

The defeat in Runcorn will signal the work that has been immersed in its popularity after returning to the government as a result of victory in landslide in July last July.

Former Runcorn was occupied by a former work deputy Mike Emesbury, whose conviction aroused the side elections.

Reform candidate Pokhin campaigned to combat the immigration ticket aimed at a local shelter hotel and took advantage of local anger about reducing the well -being of the government.

The work advocated the additional funding of the government for the NHS and its package of employment reform, while it also tried to convince former Green supporters and Liba Demo to vote tactically against reforms.

Early results in the merchant races also offered a great deal of reform. His candidate in the Great Lincolnshire, a former Tori MP Andrea Jenkins, easily won, and the reform also approached the work in the Northern Tynside and Donacaster.

In the northern Times, in northeast England, Karen Clark won 30.2 percent, only 29.4 percent of the reform. Support for work in the Northern Timesed was plunged into 23 percentage points compared to 2021, when the party received 53 percent of the vote in the region. Conservatives fell by 11 points to 21 percent.

In Doncaster, Jones grew 23 805 votes, just before Alexander Jones’s reform in 23107.

Richard Tis, Deputy Reform leader, said the early results were “very encouraging” for his party and offered a “seismic shift” in voting models.

“So far, I think we’ve taken more places from work than conservatives,” he said Sky News. “Entertaining that we take so much votes from work in our hearts.”

Eli Reivz, chairman of the Labor Party, said: “This election was always a problem.”

She added: “We know that people are not yet good, and we are as impatient to change as the rest of the country.”

Currently, reform goes forward in opinion polls On average, 26 percent, ahead of 24 percent and the conservatives lagged 21 percent, reports Financial Times polls.

Work strategists fear that the reform can fix most of its former hearts in Northern England and Midles in the next general election.

As a sign of low election work expectations, Prime Minister Sir Kire Starmer did not visit the constituency before the election day.

The results that are paid later on Friday are expected to fail for Badenoh’s conservative leader, and its party is forecast to lose hundreds of councils.

The Tori are faced with the threat from the reforms and the left central Liba hoping for income in the southern councils.

This set of English councils was last challenged when former Prime Minister Boris Johnson enjoyed increased popularity thanks to the “vaccine rebound” during the pandemic.

The secretary of the “shadow of housing” by Conservatives Kevin Holinrad said: “If we have lost half places that, in my opinion, we will probably do it for a bad night.”
